Meretrix clams - c50 clams
- Order number: 155318
These cockle-sized clams from Vietnam are a passable alternative to Venus clams. They're reasonably priced, quite meaty and very popular - perfect for rice and pasta dishes. Normally they’re cooked, but you can reheat (briefly!). They come in two versions: with both shells still on or with one shell removed, leaving the meat nestling in the other shell (we don’t always have both kinds).
PLEASE NOTE: Live clams open when you cook them. This is because the clam opens up in an effort to cool down. But the clams you are buying here are dead and therefore oblivious of the heat when you cook them. So some open by themselves and the others need a quick flick with a none-too-sharp knife. But we can assure you... the non-openers are safe.
White clam, water.
